Fox News host Laura Ingraham has apologized, as has the network, for nothing more serious than her tweet: “David Hogg rejected by four colleges to which he applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA . totally predictable given acceptance rates.)” Hogg actually has a 4.2 grade-point average.
The 17-year-old Hogg, a survivor of the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., is the new face of the anti-gun movement, having achieved overnight victim status, reserved, apparently, only for those on the left, which supposedly insulates him from criticism. Hogg rejected Ingraham’s apology and called her a “bully.” Whatever happened to “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me”? If Hogg thinks he is being bullied by Ingraham, how would he react to a real bully, the kind who punches you in the face?
Instead of adopting a “poor me” stance, Hogg should have asked to appear on Ingraham’s show, where the two could have debated the issues. He didn’t make this request; instead he swiped at Ingraham in the media. Isn’t there something a little cowardly about that?

That’s 4.2 out of 5; on a 4-point scale, it’s a 3.36,, which is a B, or an 84%.
My daughter was turned down by UCLA; she has a 96 average over four years of high school, board scores of 1470. This is in a very good high school; I know of multiple cases of kids who are here from China and Korea, with one parent living in an apartment in our medium-size town while they other stays in China to earn money; the only reason they’re here is so their son or daughter can attend our schools and learn English. Green cards only.
I’m assuming our school system is well known in Asia. We have many Chinese families living here, most as full citizens.

He is one thing that he manifests day after day for the world to see: He's a spoiled child.
“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.” P.J. O’Rourke
Laura just needs to ignor him. Do a show on the benefits of NRA and totally avoid mentioning Parkland going forward.
